66e3f479a6 Follow the keyboard being typed on in the layout widget (#6740)
* Read the keyboard being typed on rather than the one holding main

The main flag names no keyboard for long. fcitx5 takes it with the
virtual keyboard it binds to inject, and those are filtered out, so on a
seat running an input method the pick lands on nothing at all: no label,
and the widget hides itself off the bar. #6727 keeps polling in that
state rather than settling it, and the poll has nothing new to read.
Once fcitx5 unbinds, the flag lands on whichever device libinput listed
last, as easily a lid switch as a keyboard, and a device that never
receives the toggle reports the layout it started on forever, which is
the reading #6574 opened.

Every device carries the seat's layout list, but only the keyboard being
typed on advances through it, so read the furthest-advanced one.
activelayout names the keyboard it moved ahead of the layout, so take
that name and let it settle the pick, and the click that switches it.

* Leave the buttons out of the seat the widget reads

Reading the keyboard being typed on left keyboardName standing for two
things at once: the device a click switches, and the device activelayout
last named. Only the second was still being set, so the first went empty
until a switch happened -- which left the click doing nothing on a seat
whose only switch is the click, and left the poll running forever on the
one-keyboard install it was written to leave alone. Give each its own
property, and set the switch target from the reading that confirmed the
keyboard is there.

Layout progress only points at the keyboard being typed on while the
other devices stay where they started, and the ACPI power button, lid
switch and sleep key never do move on their own -- but they answer to
switchxkblayout and can hold the main flag, so anything that reads or
switches whatever the seat hands back can end up describing a button, and
unplugging the keyboard beside one leaves it standing in for the seat.
Drop them where the virtual keyboards are already dropped.

A reading that reaches hyprctl and finds no keyboard now clears the label
rather than leaving a device that is gone described on the bar, told
apart from the empty output a killed query leaves by the device list
itself, and the watchdog asks again rather than waiting for a poll that a
settled seat has already stopped.

First-party plugins

These plugins ship with Omarchy and are discovered by the shell at startup. They use the same manifest.json contract as third-party plugins; the only difference is that the shell flags them with __isFirstParty: true. First-party non-bar plugins are enabled unless listed in disabledPlugins[]; omarchy.bar is the default bar option and becomes inactive only while another kind: "bar" plugin is selected. Services and keep-loaded panels are mounted at startup; other panels, overlays, and menus are loaded on demand.

User-installed plugins live alongside these conceptually but on disk under ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/ rather than in this directory.

First-party bar-only widgets also carry manifests next to their QML files, e.g. bar/widgets/Workspaces.manifest.json. Rich popup widgets live in their own plugin directories, each with its own manifest.json.

Bar

The built-in status bar and default full-bar option. Layout lives in the top-level bar: subtree of ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json (with the shell providing config/omarchy/shell.json when the user has no file). See bar/README.md for the widget catalogue and customization schema.

Image picker

Fullscreen image-grid selector overlay. Used by omarchy-menu-images (wallpaper picker) and omarchy-theme-switcher (theme picker) and any other caller that wants to present a directory of images with previews.

Two ways to drive it:

  • Shell-level summon: omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.image-picker '<jsonPayload>'. The payload can carry imageDirs, imageRows, selectedImage, selectionFile, doneFile, showLabels, filterable. Best for in-shell callers that already speak JSON.
  • Direct IPC target: omarchy-shell image-selector open <imageDirs> <imageRowsB64> <selectedImage> <selectionFile> <doneFile> <showLabels> <filterable>. Positional args; imageRowsB64 is base64-encoded so embedded newlines / tabs survive the bash argv handoff. This is what omarchy-menu-images uses. Colors come from the central shell theme singleton; there is no per-call override surface.

The selection round-trip remains file-based: callers create a selection_file and done_file (both mktemp), pass the paths, and poll done_file for existence. The plugin writes the chosen path into selection_file and touches done_file when it's done. cancel IPC clears it without writing a selection.

The plugin has keepLoaded: true so the layer-shell window survives between summons within a single shell session.

Lock screen

Session-lock surface using Quickshell's native WlSessionLock and two separate PAM services: omarchy-lock-password for password auth and, only when fingerprints are enrolled, omarchy-lock-fingerprint for fingerprint auth. It mirrors the previous lock screen field dimensions, colors, blurred wallpaper, placeholder, and Hyprland-driven corners.

Polkit agent

Theme-aware authentication dialog for privileged actions. It uses Quickshell's native Quickshell.Services.Polkit.PolkitAgent backend and runs inside the long-lived omarchy-shell process, replacing the old polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 autostart.

Omarchy menu

Quickshell-powered Omarchy command menu. The menu UI lives in menu/Menu.qml as a first-party menu plugin and is summoned through the shell (omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.menu ...), so it shares the long-running omarchy-shell process instead of starting a second Quickshell instance.

The menu definition lives outside the shell host code:

  • defaults: default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc
  • user extensions: ~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc

The shell parses both JSONC files at startup (with watchChanges: true so edits take effect without a restart), evaluates when: / checked: bash expressions in a single batched subprocess, and executes the selected action: string directly via Quickshell.execDetached. The long-running shell process keeps the parsed menu in memory, so the keybind → IPC → visible path costs ~30ms cold.
